retrospective
Also known as: Post Mortem, Post Partum
A process whereby a team reviews its processes and performance for the purpose of identifying better ways of working. Retrospectives are often conducted at the end of a project (Project Retrospective) to collect data and recommendations for future projects. They have more impact if they are done regularly during a project. Agile projects tend to do retrospectives at least every release (called a Release Retrospective) and often every iteration (called an Iteration Retrospective.)
